A senior agent on what belongs on an actor's site, and the one contact detail to leave off it.
Drawn from what is actually said on camera, so you can decide whether to spend the 2:49 watching it.
Some agencies still see no point in an actor having a site. Treat it as an additional promotional tool you control rather than something the agency has to approve of, because it does work no submission can do.
You are becoming a public person and stalking is a real and growing problem in this business. An email address is enough for anyone with a legitimate reason to reach you.
Put the agency and the agent on the site with their telephone number. It routes serious enquiries correctly, and it signals that you are represented and are treating this as a career.
An agent submits one image, maybe two. Your site can hold a range: different clothes, different registers, different situations. That is the single thing it gives casting that a submission cannot.
No drinks in hand, nothing you would not want a production company to see while deciding whether you are a risk. The whole point of the gallery is to look like somebody who is easy to hire.
Footage of work you have actually done, a resume kept genuinely up to date rather than nearly, and any press written about you. Add a short note when you book something, so the site shows movement rather than sitting still.
The site only works if somebody who has just met your name can find it in a search. Build it on a platform that search engines index properly and check that your name actually returns it.
